A perlew of old and new, classic blues with respect for our elders and some fire-breathing harp from North Florida's greatest player, JW Gilmore.
Bio / Background
In the 1940's and 50's, a migration began.
It was a migration following opportunities for money and fame, chasing elusive jobs that didn't exist at home. A chance to learn a trade, make some real money and get some self-respect. This was the migration to the industrial cities of the US in the boom years that followed World War II. For the folks in depressed, mainly agricultural Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas, moving north meant the chance to escape some of the poverty and racism that made life only a bit more bearable than in the slave days. As this migration went north, the music, the blues, was brought along. As the Southern bluesmen and women began their lives in the big cities like Chicago, Kansas City and Saint Louis, they began adding songs of city life to the delta-style blues they had grown up playing, listening and dancing to. With the widespread availability of electric instruments and sound systems, new styles of playing emerged.
